It can only be the door, the shutter was not jemmied until abduction night !

Please find her safe and well with a family who were so desperate for a child to LOVE that they took her. I cannot think about any other reason for someone taking her as its heart breaking.. I cannot start to comprehend what her family is going through. Please be safe Madeleine. you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

xIt would be sooooo good it this little girl was found alive and well, but lets be honest, would it really be good to think about 'what she might have gone through' all these years. Best case scenario if she she alive is that a childless couple fell in love with the beautiful little girl and have given her a loving home.

Poor Maddie. Bless


SY need to wind this up. This caring couple might do the trick. Probably not healthy for the Ltd. Co.
The childless couple who took Maddie is one of Kate's earlier efforts. Sometimes paedos (but usually kind and caring paedos apparently) a childless couple (why didn't they take Amelie?) or a woman in Barcelona who had her kidnapped to order.

Morning tigger, chances are we may never know what happened to Madeleine and I agree SY have tossed the ball into the Portugese Court, quite despicably in my opinion.It has taken over 2 years to announce they found nothing virtually . Why they have made it public is anyones guess because the Report was not meant to be available to the Public anyway.

Poor Maddie. Bless.

Jinvta your post sums up very nicely the reason why it is difficult to see why this story is one of the usual Clarrie press releases. It paints the McCanns in a terrible light. In fact there are many who bought the regular checks from your back garden story that should now ask how bad the crying would have to be to encourage two complete strangers effectively break into somebody's apartment in order to help a child. Not good at all.

On the other side we have the white wash possibility. Again, it is difficult to see how this story will support a white wash. An elderly childless couple went in one night to comfort her and returned the next night to take her. Jeez, I would hope SY could come up with something more exciting than that, not to mention more credible.

It is so hard to see just exactly what these latest stories are about or where they are coming from. No matter what way you look at it they are very bad for the McCanns. There is not much damage limitation that the pink one can do with this.

I hope against hope that it is SY shaking some branches to see what apples will fall. If I were one of the tapas I would not be happy. It is really re-enforcing the neglect story on a much bigger scale.

I have never been convinced they did not have local knowledge or help to some degree and the cleaner story is bringing up a big flag to me. That could well be what the local person helped with. Perhaps that person has come clean (pardon the pun) and they now feel better able to speak out about things in general. It would make sense that freelance, travelling, seasonal cleaners be used, certainly not full time Ocean Club staff.

The neglect side of the story is moving in a much more serious direction. If I were them I would be very afraid.

From the statements l believe you cannot get into any of the apartments without a key, which is presumably why the patio doors were left unlocked story comes from.

If you heard a (strangers) child crying terribly in an apartment and you got no reply from that apartment you wouldn't walk in - you'd alert the OC managers wouldn't you?

Were these OC staff who'd let themselves in and fetched the family back from Chaplins? Prompting the offer of a free babysitter the next night?

In any case lMO it's been released to make the McCanns STFU. As you say it paints them in a dreadful light and the complete lack of recognition from the McCanns about this story is telling. Why are they not 'horrified' by this news?

It appears they dare not take SY on with comments.

Maybe now they are single they don't have to worry about the 'pact of silence'
Perhaps a new partner was treated to pillow talk and decided to spill the beans?
